1977:
THE YEAR THAT EDDY SHOULD HAVE LAID OFF THE FAIRY CAKES AND MAERTENS HARDENED THE FUCK UP. DE VLAEMINCK LOOKS FUCKING WORRIED ABOUT THE LIKELY STATE OF HIS TACKLE AFTER THE PAVÉ, BUT HE WENT ON TO CRUSH ‘EM ALL FOR HIS HISTORIC FOURTH VICTORY

Stale Beer and Arena Weed..

If I had a million dollars id open a beer and pizza joint that served beer and pizza only...nothin else..you want a menu full of choices go to Applebutters...the menu would be short concise..pizza...beer you want beer??  ya we got that shit..we would do it right......too much of a good thing is proven fact that the majority will grow tired of it...except for maybe alcohol, tobacco and arena weed...I'm asking you folks to use that part in your grey matter again the part that allows you to lay a little dreaming down...those that frequent that shitty chat board are excluded and free to leave at any givin time....but one would think they have better things to do than stumble through T's ridiculously shitty opinionated grammar shit post..T dont hate too many things..but.i hate that board...there i said it..i feel better....not the organization itself  T actually likes that.....just that god dam ridiculous group...maybe not everyone im sure somewhere in all that bullshit that gets strewn up.....folks call tms out for being anonymous ..go hang out in that place for a few hours..i feel bad for all those folks i really do..there cholesterol and blood pressure must be through the roof...

Heres the deal T ain't gonna cloud this shit post up with a bunch of his hard to understand banter about strippers, cougars and re-runs of The Waltons..the two latter although have been a T time sponge mind you......The limping MTB scene is no different than the staggering road scene and the smelly cross scene...its a victim of the times...board whores can argue all they want about numbers being up...the numbers are the amount of events....First....fewer races..period..everyone wants to promote some series..be the guy...all of a sudden Joe dude with a wife, kids, maybe kids he See's every other weekend.. work, soccer games omg!!! a house to take care of and a life outside trying to take it to the next level ...etc..most of these folks only have a few weekends a month to burn....no ones happy...well maybe divorce attorneys are happy...but spread it out over the say..500 total racers in Miscene factor in weekday worlds...and things start to look thin..not everyone has bunny staying power..we all do it for different reasons most say its fun...180hr  isn't that much fun..its fun when you win...riding with your buddies is fun...why in gods name does everyone feel so compelled to race a bike .....? wanna ride and smile for the camera ride the local loop but watch out for the pain train...cuz there aint no one slowin down in that group..I hear strava number don't lie...

If i had the $ id pay off these promoter fucks to get on the same page for 1 season...1 season.. a trial...everyone from the elitist MMBA.. to big money Rick and Steve..Tailwind..and even those chumps at the MBRA...get on the same page..schedule a years worth of shit...try...try and find a corporate sponsor of some sort...not an easy task i know....blanket this bitch with less interference..reduce the number of classes wanna ride a single speed well fuck you.... your faster than most riders on geared bikes race with em..fat bikes fat asses big thighs......one class...that's it..expert classes combined masters levels combined...there ain't enough to go around.....many years ago before most that were out there running there mouth about this that and the other thing Miscne had this thing called Tour of Blue Care network Tour Michigan something or other a week or so long race series MTB road combined...i wouldn't do a week id do summer series or ?....and payouts..come on is it really about spreading the bills on social networks? or telling people you just paid for Cedar Point tickets with your winnings?.....payouts are OK..but we don't need to be stinking paying everyone...

I think Tailwind and the MBRA are on the right track....Fewer races,..(most cant resist i know)

fewer classes..(there will be tears shed and bellyaching)

a corporate sponsor ( no one has any money)

 promoters that get it and communicate....(like a religious war)

its a dream go with it....without it............ it will continue to eat itself...
Dreaming


Opinionated and Passionately yours.... T

If I Had a Million Dollars....

Quality Time.......

Ill tell any fool that has the time to waste that i am probably as equally as cynical as i am optimistic about folks actions, thoughts and beliefs...We all have rules we live by..we lay em out adjust them and change to suit our certain feelings and attitudes..that's the beauty of being an individual in a place that lets us act so....One  my life rules is when i say i ain't gonna do something again..i don't do it...but as human as we are we make mistakes..and so i sinned against my rules...a day or so back..trying to recover after a night at the local cougars house that had me drinking way too many variations of booze into the early Sunday hour...It took three cups of over priced coffee to put my finger on it...Just like places or people in our real life we don't visit for certain reason T has places on this Internet he don't go.. for various reason..but i  sinned and maybe the pulsing headache made me do it...Nut i went creepin....I went there..Nothing had me shaking my leg and dragging my Jordan's under the table like the thread i got tangled up in..I wasn't gonna name the place but to hell with it...we the wool pulled over each others eyes enough as it...i hate contributing....

i has to believe most folks have been there..and I'm gonna give you my  asshole opinionated two cents...that god dam MMBA board what in gods name is up with those people?..are they all sniffing glue? who in the hell is out there selling out dated Testors to some of those folks..I happened to climb on the thread of the decline of Michigan racing scene..i know better than most we all know just enough to make us dangerous..but that dam thread had me questioning every aspect of my life..At first went as far telling myself never to bread tie a number on cobbled together ebay rig....but that was like cutting your nose off in spite of your face..I kept is simple... i don't know if i will ever be able to make eye contact with anyone wearing a visor at the local loop ever again.....like a dog chasing his tail...that whole dam board is strewn with a mulligan stew of people that should be making there bosses happy, satisfying there significant other and being there parent there children need or just flat riding there bike instead of posting senseless babble.......I know hate is already bubbling up like a cancer in any of the few folks that still are hanging on to this record setting shitty grammar post...but i don't care......its like..like  i had to get it out of my head to allow more constructive material to occupy its space...squeezing my skull...my meds aint workin.....if none of you have read it id truly suggest if you do set down for some quality time...get to the local liquor plaza and grab that bottle of grouchy negro before hand...

Im sweating..omg where in the hell is my can of  "Get Whipped"

Dopage!

Miguel Martinez...LIl Mig...one of the first real euros to arrive when the Mtb scene was exploding here..half the size of Tomac, Tinker or Dead;y Nedly..this little fucks power to weight ratio probably nearly doubled his US rivals..His light weight was not limited to his small stature..he obsessed over having a crazy stupid light bike..often running parts that were far out dated to most..canti brakes, suspension forks with no internals...and even rigid forks..whether he was on the Jack it wasn't detected enough to give him the boot forever.....when he made the switch to the road one woulda thought he would climbed liked his old man .....but he wasnt very well liked and earned the name as the lil squirt and never saw much of the front..too bad cuz he road for one of the most Jacked up badass teams of the day.....maybe not the doper you were hoping for ...but he still is one for the eurofuck list

EAT ME.

 EVEN DOPED TO THE GILLS BIG VDB. YOU WERE SUCH A CLASSY TALENT. YOU WORE SWEET-AS LYCRA WITH PANACHE AND YOU WEREN’T AFRAID OF KICKING IT IN THE BIG RING IN SUB ZERO TEMPS. GOOD LUCK IN THAT BIG KERMESSE IN THE SKY.

There is so much rad shit going on here that if T did a list it all most probably wouldn't get it anyway.. no other eurofuck could get away with this style, everything from zebra print kits, human anatomy skinsuits..winning multiple tour stages..but never finishing a tour..... not giving a fuck..getting fined for wearing the "wrong clothing" and still giving absolute zero fucks. posing with half naked chicks in Northwave shoe ads and just being able to posses the ability to steal your wife from you right out from under your nose...


this dude wouldnt be caught dead having pillow fights with his teamies.....
